Just curious, why a yearling? just for the sake of killing somthing?

Could be in an earn-a-buck zone like I am. You are required to shoot an antlerless deer before you can shoot a buck. Pretty much have to shoot the first baldie that walks out because if you try and wait for a bigger doe, you might regret it.

Here's one by muddy shot last weekend and the coyotes found it first...

Ahhh ok. I don't hunt so I don't know how that works.

It's the DNR's way of "herd reduction". Most people (myself included) are at the point where they'd prefer to only shoot mature bucks. Because of this, all these does and fawns get a free pass and more fawns are bred from the does that walk. Then we have 47,000 deer-car crashes a year in WI alone and the DNR takes the heat and the hunters have to bail them out.

Why didn't you field dress the deer? It just doesn't look like you did it where it lay, I've just always gutted them on the spot...mostly precaution...

I was gonna ask the same thing.. who guts their deer in the garage???, LOL. I also noticed it wasn't tagged before it was moved which is a huge no-no.

**Lash** · 10-26-2006, 05:14 PM

x3...but I wasnt gonna say anything..lol.

**0TransAm0** · 10-26-2006, 06:01 PM

eh i always tag it and drag it to the cabin then hang it up and gut it while its hanging. put the wheel barrow under it catchs the guts and dump them in the woods.
but man my dog is bigger than that doe.

**Korndogg** · 10-26-2006, 06:25 PM

They will melt in your mouth though!

I've been checking out the fields up north... I can t believe the 100's of deer out there. Rarely saw anything over 100 lbs.

Alot of small deer this year.

**t_a_crazy121** · 10-27-2006, 02:32 AM

well it was my first deer and i have already missed one at 30 yards soo i was just soo pumped to get the shot at 18, and yeah movin it b4 taggin it was probably a bad move but, we rarely get DNR where we hunt not that that justifies it, and we gutted it right in the door of the pole barn cuz it was raining and when the deer ran it ran rite into the boyscout camp cause we hunt right along the edge of it, soo when we got the permission to get the deer out they told us they would prefer if we gutted it on our land just soo they wouldnt get a ton of coyotes in the area

, but hey i got my first deer and yes the meat is awesome even though it is small (we got like 50lbs of meat out of it), soo this weekend its back up north to try and get the buck that we know is in the area, but havent seen him yet lol

It isn't always easy to determine how big it is if it's by itself in the woods. If you haven't shot one before, that probably makes judging the size even harder. I agree with Korn, you have to start somewhere. Congrats on your first deer. At least the DNR will be happy, in their eyes, a deer is a deer. I read that they want every hunter in EAB or Herd Reduction Zones to take two anterless for every buck harvested.
